New insular taxa from the oldest Terre Rosse fissure filling (Gargano, Southeastern Italy).

2012

A rich amount of fossil remains of a highly diversified vertebrate fauna, known as “Mikrotia fauna”, has been retrieved from the red soil deposits (Terre Rosse) which fill the extensive palaeokarst network that affects the Mesozoic limestone along the north-western slopes of Mount Gargano (Southern Italy). The faunal assemblages reveal a rather complex history of bioevents such as dispersals and extinctions, which occurred when the area was isolated. These reconstructions were based on the materials collected during the seventies and the eighties of the last century. Forty years after its discovery, the Gargano Terre Rosse finally yielded evidence of an older faunal settlement. The peculiar…

Indoor artificial lighting: Prediction of the circadian effects of different spectral power distributions.

2014

The study presented in this paper aims to evaluate if and how the environment affects the circadian impact of a light source by predicting circadian stimulus (CS) resulting from the exposure to different light scenes, using equations reported in studies by Rea et al. The main findings are: (1) Above 600 lx at eye level the increase of CS is little; (2) Between 50 lx and 200 lx at the eye level an increase of only 50 lx determines a significant increase of CS; (3) Light sources with correlated colour temperatures between 2900 K and 4200 K have similar impacts on the circadian system according to the calculation method used; (4) Even an almost neutral environment affects the circadian impact…

Representaciones sociales a través del lenguaje en la lexicografía hispanoamericana decimonónica

2014

Este articulo parte de una propuesta de analisis relativamente reciente de la primera lexicografia hispanoamericana despues de la independencia, que consiste en asumir una estrecha relacion entre la elaboracion, difusion y recepcion de los primeros diccionarios del espanol americano –en cuanto produccion cultural de la elite criolla–, y los procesos historicos y socio-politicos de la epoca. Sobre esta base, se postula la existencia de una unidad del discurso lexicografico, a pesar de la diversidad de obras y autores, que es posible entrever y caracterizar. Se analizan, en consecuencia, los mecanismos que en este discurso se ponen en funcionamiento para ofrecer representaciones sociales –en …

W poszukiwaniu austronostalgii w czeskiej pamięci subiektywnej

2020

Głównym tematem artykułu jest obecność lub brak austronostalgii w wypowiedziach subiektywnych. Materiałem źródłowym są eseje czeskiego autora Lubomíra Martínka oraz wspomnienia przedstawicieli 13 przeciętnych przypadkowych czeskich rodzin. Refleksje autora koncentrują się z jednej strony na braku austronostalgii w tych subiektywnych świadectwach, a z drugiej na przyczynach tej nieobecności. Pierwsza z nich nawiązuje do teorii Cathrin Horel, że kraje dobrze rozwinięte, które nie zawdzięczają swojego postępu monarchii Habsburgów, bardzo szybko zapomniały o wspólnej przeszłości. Druga dotyczy czeskiego dyskursu odrodzeniowego w XIX wieku, którego głównym celem było uniezależnienie się od imper…

Metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb arthrodesis using intramedullary interlocking screws XMCP™

2018

Abstract The study objective was to assess the results of a thumb metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) arthrodesis using intramedullary interlocking screws at 25°, XMCP ™ (Extremity Medical, Parsippany, NJ). Radiographs evaluated the angle of arthrodesis, time of fusion and fixation of the implant. Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed using the DASH questionnaire and the VAS scale. Any complications found during surgery or the follow-up period were noted. We studied 9 patients. The mean follow-up was 27.6 months. Patients showed clinical and radiological evidence of fusion in an average of 8 weeks, the angle of fusion was 25°. There were no complications and no implant had to be remov…

New intramedullary locking nail for olecranon fracture fixation--an in vitro biomechanical comparison with tension band wiring.

2010

The aim of this study was to determine the difference in displacement of a newly designed intramedullary olecranon fracture fixation device compared with multifilament tension band wiring after 4 cycles and 300 cycles of dynamic continuous loading.In eight pairs of fresh-frozen cadaver ulnae, oblique olecranon fractures were created and stabilized using either newly designed intramedullary olecranon nail or multifilament tension band wiring. The specimens were then subjected to continuous dynamic loading (from 25 N to 200 N) using matched pairs of cadaveric upper extremities. The Wilcoxon test was used to determine statistical differences of the displacement in the fracture gap.After 4 cycl…

Dynamic biomechanical analysis of different olecranon fracture fixation devices--tension band wiring versus two intramedullary nail systems: an in-vi…

2007

Abstract Background. The aim of this study was to develop a test-setup with continuous angle alteration to imitate joint motion for the evaluation of 3 different olecranon fracture fixation devices. Methods. Twenty-one fresh cadaver upper extremities underwent olecranon fracture by the means of transverse osteotomy and received 3 different fixation systems. Group 1: Tension band wiring according to Weber. Group 2: XS-nail with 9 holes, all locked with 2 mm threaded K-wires. Group 3: Olecranon Nailing System with 90 mm length, locked with 2.7 mm screws, a variable angle locking hole for the proximal fragment and a proximal locking end cap. The servo-pneumatical test stand worked with a rotat…

Case of fatal systemic infection with an Aureobacterium sp.: identification of isolate by 16S rRNA gene analysis

1996

The case of a 75-year-old man who succumbed to a disseminated infection most likely caused by a species of the genus Aureobacterium is reported. Identification of the isolate was achieved by comparative 16S rRNA gene analysis. Aureobacteria are commonly found in the environment. However, only recently have they been recognized as a cause of infections including septicemia and soft tissue infections. To our knowledge, this is the first documentation of a fatal infection caused by an Aureobacterium sp.
